the counterpart of such men as WASH
ington, Jefferson and Webster are not
to be found in the United States?
l here challenge any literary gym
mast, to produce or refer me to any
man or woman that amounted to any
thing In the worlds history before the
existence of Sabbath schools and day
schools. Yes. it is true that families
existed before the church and before
schools, but what kind of families were
they? "Eyes have they and see not,
ears have they and hear not, mouths
have they and spelk not, "says David.
also challenge any of the opposers
of the bible to show any Legitimate
reason, aside from those born of sec
tartan prejudice and infidellJy, why
the bible should not be taught SYSTEM
atically in the day school. The opposi-
ton to the reading of the bible In the
public school came, in the first place,
from the church of Rome, which is OPP
posed to any and all protestant insti-
tutions. I would ask the gentleman,
in conclusion, if Chaplain Bess of the
Brooklyn penitentia said that the sew
enty-five per cent. of the Sabbath
school instructed criminals are there
because they received such instruc-
tions, or because they departed from
their instructions? In the Sabbath
school we are taught not to steal, not
to lie, and to do no murder, etc. /
would ask If, after forty-seven years of
experience, Callahan cannot .see that
the reading of the bible in the public
school has done any good is any reason
why the contrary is not ture?
Give us more of the bible in the pub
lie schools, and more of God in the
heart of the nation, and socialism. nj
hilism, and the oppression of the poor,
will soon become things of the past.
Yours, G. A. MASTON.

Van Buren, Local: "The first acct
dent on the new railroad through our
county, attended with any serious re-
suit, occurred Saturday evening last,
and Mr.. Lewis, foreman of the rock
gang at work on the bluff just across
the river from town, was the unlucky
sufferer. A hole had been drilled in
which it was the intention to put about
80 kegs of powder, and when half
keg or so had been put in Mr.. Lewis
proceeded to lamp it. While he was
thus engaged the crow-bar in some way
cut and ignited the fuse by striking 8
spark of fire from the rock, and he re-
ceived the full force of the explosion of
half key of powder in the face. He
was picked up in all unconscious condi-
ton by his men, and it was thought
for some time that there was no hope
for his recovery, but ON the arrival of
q surgeon it was found that aside from
the burns by the powder (Which will
likely cause the loss of his eyes) and the
cuts in his face made by the gravel,
he was not seriously injured. The in
jured man was taken to Mill Spring on
Sunday evening, and from there it was
the intention to take him to Memphis,
Tenn, on the first train"

TRUE TO IT'S PLEDGES,

In the last campaign many North
Carolina Democratic candidates went
before the people and pledged their
efforts towards repeal Ct the Intern
al Revenue laws, laws imposed by
Republican rule and Laws. that the
Democratic party believed to be un-
just, unnecessary and burdensome.
Since that time, we have seen Mr..
John Henderson, representing the
Seventh North Carolina District, make
an earnest effort in the House for the
repeal Of the tobacco and brandy tax
and we have seen every Democratic
North Carolina Congressman second
this effort and lend his aid to repeal.
We have seen the Democratic press
Of North Carolina fight the system
since Democracy has ruled, as well az
when the offices were in the hands Of
Republicans.
Last week the Democratic Execu-
! INV SiJiliiiiIt-CS IuCV III 1.ttciS5D IL II
adopted Il resolution whose meaning
cannot be misunderstood.
RESOLVED That it is the sense of the
| Democratic State Executive Coamittee tnat
the Internal Revenue Laws should be i'm
meiiately repealed, anl our Democratic
members Of Congress are requested to use
| their Influence, as they h,ye heretofore
| done, to have such laws repealed, and to Sc
cure st,:h modification, ii thu tariff IS VIII
rs,uce The duties upon iHsi, rts u 5ach ex
/ tent as viii be possible consistent with the
economical administration e. the govern
/ ment.
That pIatf1rm is adopted By mel
who lead the .,arty in this State, anc
ii shows that what the party proiesseG
in 1894 it processes to-day. What i
promised then it is nov trying to full
fill. It shows that Republican chal G
es against Democratic consistency are
utterly false, and that the Democratic
| party is true to lis pledges and princi
| pies, thus meriting the favor and the
support of the people Of North Caro-
| lima,

POLITICAL CHIT CHAT.

Governor Scales has not yet gone to
political dream-land and may give
some strong liclls for the nomination.
Colonel John Staples thinks Senator
Ransom will go back to the Senate,
while some of Jarvis friends think he
cannot. Wonder who thinks best !?
Down East. they are talking of
Judge Shepherd and Judge MacRae
for the two places on the Supreme
Court bench, provided by Constitu-
tional amendment.
Mr.. n. B. Broughton is nominated
by the News and Observer for State
Auditor. The Green county Enter
prise seconds the nomination. Good
idea-Mr. Broughton is good man,
can poll votes. Keep it up.
In the fifth district we near it that
Mr.. John r. Webster viii cut the
double shuttle on the Independent
platform for Congress next time. Can
that be trde, Bro. Webster, or are
they siandering you?
Mr.. A. II. A Williams, Of Gran
vile, is talked up for next Congress
man from this district. Capt. VIII
liams knows how to run a railroad
very well, and it may be, can engineer
himself into the 51st Congress-who
| knows?

Thomas Settle as Vice Presid ent. The

THE STATE FAIR.

TIE SENTINEL, true to its promise,
sent representative down to Raleigh
last week, to tell the farmers of pied.
mont North Carolina all about the
big.pumpkins, the tall wheat, the fine
horses and the fat cattle that they and
their neighbors, all the way from Ten
nessee to the Atlantic, had sent there
to be seen. But the show was bad
one,-no, it was the weather.
The show was very fair, might have
been better, but that perpetual cold
drizzle sent chills up the spinal col
umn of all those "vertebrates that
wear breeches,' as Thomas Carlisle
dubs them, and made everybody leck
like they had the toothache.
The man who went there with en-
thusiasm IN his heart and a big pump
kin in his wagon, gradually let the
enthusiasm ebb away, dumped his
pumpkin at the fist convenient place
and then bought him pair of over
shoes and ffoated around the city
glum as you please.
Although the fair authorities falled
to select good weather, they did select
a. good chief marshal This year, aS
last, they selected man not only pos
eessing personal pulchritude, but
brains as well, and Capt. Buck
Jones managed everything well. ex
cept the elements.
The stock was especially good ane

farmers are beginning TO take a pfid'

RAILROAD TALK.

To day Mr.. Hawkins, engineer in
charge of the Winston Will<esboro
road, is expected in the city, to begin
surveying the route out of Winston.
He has rented the cottage on COL
Alspaugh's farm, about four miles
from the city, and will there erect
quarters for the hands, stables and all
necessary buildings for the large force
Of hands and mules that are to be put
On the road Immediately after the com.
pleSion Of quarters.
As soon as these buildings are COM
pleted, it is the intention Of the com
pany to put Gu one hundred and fifty
hands at this end, snd between one
hundred, and one hundred and fttY at
the Wiikesboro terminus, in addition
to the force already employed. This
isn't mere hearsay, it is straight from
q director OF the road. We asked
him, "When do you expect this road
to be completed 2 and he replied,
"Wc fully expect to have the trains
running within thirteen months from
to-day" That looks like business.
The SENTINEL has all along had faith
in the honest intentions of Col. An
drews and the directors, and today it
is even more hopeful than ever. 1t
feels that it can congratulate the good
people all along the line, without fear
of the road being failure.
The gentlemen in charge of the
road have had many difficulties, the
recent financial depression has prevent
ed the sale of the bonds, and the
Richmond and Danville Co., has thus
far paid and is paying for all work
with its own money, without a cent
being raised from the bonds. That
itself is good evidence that the
company is acting in good faith with
our people.
The road isn't expected to stop at
NNiikesboro, but to go on and tap
some road In East Tennessee, and thus
